Championship
Barnsley - Joe Williams played full match in 3-0 home win over Sunderland

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
78 - It's Joe Williams now with a fantastic defensive challenge as the visitors break from Hammill's free-kick into the box.

Fan comments
"What a performance. Williams, Potts, Pearson were excellent."
"Williams was also magnificent"
"Williams who was tremendous"

Sunderland - Tyias Browning played full match in same game

OS Match Report

Fan comments
"Browning is fine but he's no nonsense and his distribution is slow and laboured."

Brendan Galloway was not in Sunderland squad (injury)

Nottingham Forest - Kieran Dowell played full match and was booked in 0-2 home defeat to Leeds United

OS Match Report
"Kieran Dowell tried his luck with a chip after a mix-up in the Leeds defence but he put too much power on his effort and it didn't trouble Felix Wiedwald."

Twitter stuff
11' #NFFC 0-0 Leeds: Dowell plays a dangerous ball into the Leeds area which is just too far in front of Murphy in the middle
30' #NFFC 0-1 Leeds: Dowell plays a great ball down the line for Murphy to run onto. He races past Jansson but the defender recovers well
38' #NFFC 0-1 Leeds: Leeds gift the ball to Dowell in their own half and he attempts to chip Wiedwald but gets too much on his effort

Fan comments
"dowe..5 did he actually play?"
"Dowell has certainly been the catalyst for our improvement in the final third. Some real moments of quality again today. Lets hope to God he stays fit."
"Like I said earlier, McKay came short every time when he could have made runs down the line. Even if the ball doesn't go his way, it takes defenders away and opens up space. Dowell is the same, never makes a run past the defenders. This leaves the defence just marking Murphy between. Easy, they'll take that all day long."
"From our point of view I aint too down tonight, thought we played some decent stuff with Dowell at the heart of most of the good things we did going forward."
"Dowell and Clough isn't a pairing that is gonna press and tackle, they need people to win the ball for them. Plus, Dowell was anonymous bar a few nice turns all game."
"I would also add that I thought Dowell was very fortunate to play 90 minutes. Games like today, when it just isn't happening, you need a bit more power and guile than craft."
"Dowell - 5 - Some neat touches but he tends to go missing for periods of the game, that'll come with time though."

Matthew Pennington not in matchday squad for Leeds (injury)

Antonee Robinson was an unused sub for Bolton in their Friday night game

...after a dodgy start, it sounds like Joe Williams is turning things around at Barnsley. He's made of the right stuff.
 

Onyekuru s.webp



The four was actually quite generous. Some other newspapers gave him a lower rating. As you can see the entire attack has a four. Attack is relative btw; wingers were playing 80 meters from goal. It was surreal.

They are going to sign a new attacker. Robert Beric. They are hoping for some kind of resurrection. He ruptured his cruciate ligament in 2015 and hasn't been on the same level since apparently. Before he scored 30 goals in 38 games.

What is going wrong at Anderlecht?

I'd say players who are not delivering what is expected. The defence is doing okay, and so are the central midfielders. The attackers aren't delivering one bit. Theodorczyck - biggest problem- couldn't hit a barn door atm (hopefully his replacement works out), Onyekuru is finding the step to a higher level quite difficult (especially the last match he was very weak), same for Chipciu etc. Kums and Hanni are playing well but they are getting utterly depressed since they have nobody to give the ball to.

I hope they sort it out during the international break. In the meantime it's quite humiliating, Anderlecht is currently ranked 11th; and they have only scored 2 or 3 goals in 5 matches. CL will be a painful endeavour this way.
 
This is a really interesting topic. I hope that some of the lads make it to the first team.
In my FM 17 save with Everton , Galloway has become a decent ball playing center back and has played really well having a higher than 7 rating in the 3 seasons I've played him so far.

I have sold Browning to Sunderland as he didn't match the standards and Connolly shared the same fate . Grant is failing to impress even at championship level and Dowell seems to be improving gradually but he is a lazy no.10 type of player , so I am not sure I will keep him .

I am willing to give a chance to Charsley though , I play him at cup matches regularly and he has scored some goals . I am wondering if Charsley is a decent player in real life too . Same goes for Jonjoe Kenny , who is being tutored by ,veteran and backup to Seamus Coleman, Dani Alvez in my save:P

Let's see who makes it ! I will be following this thread .
